We are approaching the 5th anniversary of the Nikon Z camera and lens system. I have to say that I’m surprised how far both Nikon’s Z camera’s and lens’s have come since 2018. As you will see while watching the original launch video, Nikon expects the Z system to be their platform for the next 100 years (until 2117)!
Their original line up of cameras upon launch were the Z6 (which I still use) and Z7. The original Z lens lineup were the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8s, 24-70mm f/4s and the Nikon 35mm f/1.8s. Currently, Nikon has 10 Z mirrorless bodies and 42 Z Nikkor lenses, demonstrating great progress and ambition.
So, grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the original 2018 launch presentation of Nikon’s mirrorless (now mirrorless AND shutterless) camera and lens system.
Watch the full Nikon Japan's Global Launch of their long awaited Z Mirrorless Series of Cameras on the 23rd August 2018 from Tokyo. MIRRORLESS REINVENTED THROUGH THE NIKON Z MOUNT SYSTEM. The Z mount system is comprised of mirrorless cameras featuring a new, larger-diameter mount, as well as compatible NIKKOR lenses and accessories.
With yet another Z9 firmware release (ver 5.30), I thought I would put together a comprehensive guide to all 15 of the Z9 updates to date. This also serves as a historical record of how far the Z9 has come, starting with its firmware at birth with version 1.00 upon release.
